Guinness ratifies Garside

Posted by planetultramarathon on March 27, 2007

In a decision that I am sure will shock the sport of Ultramarathoning, Guinness Book of Records have ratified Robert Garside and his “run” around the world:

It is strange that Guinness did not consider this valid and factual information:

I would recommend to any legitimate solo and journey runners that it is a waste of time getting your run validated by GBR. It is time for a group to get together in the sport to record and ratify solo runs according to what we consider is necessary. Any takers to assist in that process?
